Description: Manages World Wide Packets syslog collector remote server configuration and message forwarding settings.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is WWP-SYSLOG-COLLECTOR-MIB?

WWP-SYSLOG-COLLECTOR-MIB is a Ciena LEOS (formerly World Wide Packets) proprietary MIB used to configure remote syslog collector servers and message forwarding settings on the device. It exposes configuration data such as collector server addresses, ports, and forwarding enable/severity filter settings, letting the device be pointed at one or more centralized log collectors. Its monitoring value is indirect but important for overall software/fault visibility — verifying that syslog forwarding is correctly configured ensures that software-generated log messages (errors, warnings, status changes) actually reach a central logging system rather than being lost locally, which is essential for diagnosing software-level issues after the fact. It relies on the standard syslog protocol (RFC 3164/5424) for message transport and format, layered with vendor-specific configuration objects. It is deployed on Ciena LEOS Metro Ethernet devices in networks that centralize log collection for operational monitoring and compliance, and administrators can get a WWP-SYSLOG-COLLECTOR-MIB download from Ciena's MIB repository to load directly into a MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WWP-SYSLOG-COLLECTOR-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Monitoring Examples

No sample object names were supplied; based on the description, the relevant objects would be a syslog collector server table (destination IP/hostname, port, enable state) and possibly a severity filter setting. An admin would poll this table to confirm the expected collector addresses are configured and enabled, and a missing or disabled entry would explain why log messages from this device are absent from the central logging system.

What Can Be Monitored

syslog collector server address/port
forwarding enable state

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
wwpSyslogCollectorMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46			A MIB module to manage syslog collectors on the LEOS based WWP products.
wwpSyslogCollMIBObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1
wwpSyslogSystem	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.1
T/F wwpSyslogEnable	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.1.1	TruthValue	read-write	Specifies whether or not the syslog client is enabled. This is the system wide parameter and will overwrite any collector specific managed object to enable or disable the syslog client.
wwpSyslogColl	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2
wwpSyslogCollectorTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2.1		not-accessible	A table containing Syslog collector information.
wwpSyslogCollectorEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2.1.1		not-accessible	Defines the information pertaining to a syslog collector to which a syslog messages will be relayed. Entries within this table with an access level of read- create MUST be considered non-volatile and MUST be maintained across entity resets.
IP wwpSyslogCollectorAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2.1.1.1	IpAddress	read-only	The Ip address for the Syslog message collector.
I32 wwpSyslogCollectorUDPPort	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2.1.1.2	Integer32	read-create	The port number on the destination to which the syslog message will be forwarded over the udp transport.
SYS wwpSyslogCollectorFacility	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2.1.1.3	SyslogFacility	read-create	The syslog facility code that will added to messages forwarded to this collector.
SYS wwpSyslogCollectorMinSeverity	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2.1.1.4	SyslogSeverity	read-create	Any syslog message with a severity less than the severity specified by this object will be ignored by the collector. note: serverity level numeric values increase as their severity decreases, e.g. error(3) is more severe than debug(7).
SYS wwpSyslogCollectorMaxSeverity	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2.1.1.5	SyslogSeverity	read-create	Any syslog message with a severity greater than the severity specified by this object will be ignored by the collector. note: serverity level numeric values increase as their severity decreases, e.g. error(3) is more severe than debug(7).
ROW wwpSyslogCollectorStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.1.2.1.1.6	RowStatus	read-create	This object is used to create and delete rows in the wwpSyslogCollectorTable. To create a new row the management station must set the object to 'CreateAndGo'. The collector can be disabled by setting this object to 'notInService'.
wwpSyslogCollMIBNotificationPrefix	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.46.2
